The Larimer County Sheriff's Office is investigating an apparent assault that happened Wednesday night at a Fort Collins-area trailer park.

A 54-year-old resident at Poudre Valley Mobile Home Park said he looked out his window and "saw someone beating on his car," said Jennifer Hillmann, public information officer for LCSO. That's when the man went outside to confront the suspect who he said hit him with something and then took off on foot.

Medical crews and deputies were called to the scene at 9:56 p.m. They searched the area for the suspect to no avail.

The investigation is ongoing, and no detailed description of the suspect was immediately available, Hillmann said.

A series of similar suspicious incidents happened across Fort Collins earlier this year, mainly at the end of January and beginning of February.

In those cases, suspects damaged the exterior of more than 20 parked vehicles, mostly during weekend nights between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., Fort Collins police said in a Wednesday news release that was issued hours before the incident at the mobile home park. Most of the damaged vehicles were parked overnight on public streets, and none of them were actually entered.

It was not immediately clear whether those events and the assault on Wednesday were connected.

Anyone with information about the damages from earlier this year who has not already spoken to police is encouraged to contact Officer Shane Cundall at (970) 416-2526 or Crime Stoppers of Larimer County at (970) 221-6868 or online at www.stopcriminals.org, where you will remain anonymous and possibly be eligible for a cash reward.
